Political Punch

Parker is just one of those women that can't stand when a woman passes her on the ladder of success! She deserves to be where Palin is. She has been throwing out little bones about running for office herself for years now. I don't think Palin is out of her depth. Parker is just another elitist woman who likes to think of themselves as better than the rest of us 'normal" women. These diva-ish women like Parker and that perky blonde chick on the nbc morning show that lost her husband are the same way, other women just are not as smart as couric and parker and they must let us know or we might find out the hard way how stupid we are. We might even do something that would embarass them like voting republican no matter what Parker and her little friends vote. What would happen if they showed some respect. I know, their little faces would crack! Ick, Horrors, respecting other WOMEN! Parker might consider dragging herself out of the "trash all women but me" line before the heat gets turned all the way up.

Why would McCain do this to Sarah Palin? It's quite cruel... Why would McCain choose this for the country? It's beyond self-centered...

Kathleen Parker, a so called "conservative columnist" is either "missing a few tacos from her platter" or is a Mole for the Democrats.

With less that 40 days to go until the general election, she made an incredible statement attacking John McCain's Presidential running mate, Sarah Palin. She stated that Palin is a "dud" and should "step aside".

Surely, a True Republican would never say such a thing, and certainly not at this stage as it would mean a a certain loss to McCain if that were to happen. So why did she say it?

A few more Kathleen Parker gems below:

"I love Obama for his style, grace, intellect and his way with words. I want the healing power that an Obama presidency could deliver to this country".

"Alaska someday will be home to Christian renegades arriving for the Rapture".

This is also the same Kathleen Parker that agreed with Ahmadinejad's assertion that women should not be in the British military (or any military for that matter) after Iran commandeered a British ship with a woman sailor on board.

Parker went on to "diss" the woman in the military and say it was not their roles to be serving their country in uniform and should instead stay home and raise their kids.

Perhaps she sould tell that to Sgt. Leigh Ann Hester who won a Silver Star in Iraq after a fierce 90 minute firefight in which she saved many lives with her bravery in direct combat with the enemy.

Or perhaps she should tell that Army Spc. Monica Lin Brown who was also awarded a Silver Star for bravery under fire and also saving many lives.

Should we now ground Colonel Martha McSally, the first woman to fly combat in the United States Air Force? Not only is Colonel McSally a decorated combat pilot (A-10 Thunderbolt II), she also is the first woman to successfully command an American fighter squadron-the 354th Fighter Squadron.

Oh wait..let's not forget that Parker strongly believes that Sarah Palin needs to spend more time with the family..along with our women in the military.

No, Kathleen Parker is not missing a "few tacos" at all. It is my view that she knew Exactly what she was saying and why she said it. Furthermore, it is my view that she is either a secret Mole for the Democrats or at the very least, has become a useful idiot for them. Truly pathetic.

The elitist wing of the conservative movement have always been wary of us libertarians coming into the GOP. Sarah Palin is one of the top elected libertarian Republicans in the country, (along with Idaho's Gov. Butch Otter, and Cong. Jeff Flake of AZ).

Of course, she's going to make some conservatives nervous.

They are wary of her libertarian cultural views. This is the woman who famously fought back against social conservatives in Wasilla who wanted to run all of the bars and taverns out of town.

But what she loses from the social conservatives, she gains 10 times over in libertarian votes.

Figure, Libertarian Bob Barr was polling 6% nationwide in mid-summer, and post-Palin he's now down to 1%.

With Sarah Palin, the libertarian wing of the GOP has finally arrived. Of course, that's going to make some other Republicans nervous.

I don't think this is a take home interview, Sarah.

Nice person, just not too bright.

The great thing about the news cycle is that it's as ADD as the rest of America. If she can do well in the VP debate the Couric interview will be soon forgotten. On the other hand, if she bombs, the campaign goes to Obama because even Republicans don't want an idiot in the Naval Observatory.

Jay B. Long: If your not satisfied with your party vote democrat and call it a day. And McCain's age at 72 doesn't matter. Joe Biden is 65 years of age. Who cares as long as they can do the job. Be lucky if you live to be that age. And I am sure your parent's are not young.

Donna: The only reason Kathleen has been warming up to Obama she though she would be chosen for the VP spot but got fooled. She doesn't even qualify for the VP. Hillary or Biden are his best choice and he made that choice. I believe he should have chosen Hillary but only he knows why he didn't. Hillary and Bill should not be campaigning for him because he doesn't need them. He used them for his own benefit. Bill Clinton doesn't really like Obama and it shows by his actions. That's why he praised McCain and Palin.

Maggie: Who cares what the Bush Doctrine is. We care about the issues. I have voted many times over and I had never heard of it myself and it isn't that important. What's important is the economy and the bail out. Get a life. Couric and Parker are very jealous of Palin and they didn't go further in their life than she did and neither did a lot of young woman. She is very aggressive and that's why she was a mayor then a governor. If you think you can do better than that get busy and get into politics.

This woman didn't know what the Bush Doctrine is.

...even W knows what the Bush Doctrine is.

Sarah Palin is the perfect symbol of the current state of the United States of America.

I think the unfortunate Palin experiment by Team McCain leaves Team Obama the perfect opening to welcome Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius onto the Democratic ticket instead of Senator Clinton.

Before Palin's frightning display of vapidity and Clinton's extremely disloyal scheming and passive aggression, Sebelius would have seemed a drastic gamble.

Today, Sebelius would appear a welcome relief from the other two women and John McCain as well. She is Hillary Clinton, but without Bill and other baggage. She is Sarah Palin, but without the cold vast spaces echoing throughout her interviews. She is John McCain, but healthy and sane.

Sebelius has been loyal to Senator Barack Obama. She has a calm, reasonable personality as opposed to vengeful or spiteful. Her silver hair and quiet demeanor lend gravitas to Obama's youth and vigor. She works well with political opponents. She has held elective office for many years, including at the executive level in a red state, no less. She doesn't hide from the media or political challenges.

Sebelius would easily neutralize Palin by reveal Palin as a loud-mouth little girl without no danger of the repeated sexism whining and crying. At the same time, she could win over the remaining Hillary Clinton demographic who have not already joined Team Obama.

OBAMA/SEBELIUS 2008!!!

Leave Sarah alone. She has more executive experience than Obama, and if the media spent as much time airing and writing about the many gaffes that Obama and Biden have said, than they should be declared as unqualified and are an embarrassment to the Democrat party.

I guess I'm the only one that loves Sarah Palin, but that's fine by me.

Every time I hear her asked a question, I guess I get distracted, because I awlays wonder what the Democrat running for President -- Barack Obama -- would be able to give as an answer.

What IS Barack Obama's foreign policy experience? Is he running for PRESIDENT, or is that my imagination?

Also, since I'm an independent, not a conservative, what conservatives think about Palin is irrelevant. If what conservatives think is suddenly relevant to liberals, so be it... but LOL!

Sarah Palin doesn't have to please the msm or conservatives to please me.

What I like about her is, she took on Frank Murkowski, as a reformer, and she won. And she reformed. And that's what DC needs.

What DC doesn't need is another Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid -- meaning Barack Obama and Joe Who -- at the helm.

I applaud Kathleen Parker for speaking what a lot of us women who earned our seat at the "good 'ole boys" table by being roasted, toasted, and able to stand the heat; Sarah Palin is NOT qualified to be VP. She should bow out with respect and dignity.

palin i suspect was chosen to woo the evangelican vote. her level of sophistication on the world level to be quite frank is embarrassing. all presidents in my view have puppetmasters. sadly she is so lacking, that if she ever became president every waking thought would be controlled. that's disconcerting because i have not heard an original thought from her yet. she seems to respond to questions with talking points, and when that isn't possible you get, what reminds me of a kid trying to outsmart you, when you've been there, done that.

Who is better to judge Palin than fellow conservative woman like Parker. Well, now we know that Palin is clueless, and McCain is putting this nation before personal ambition to be the President than he claims "Country First." McCain selection of Palin is a an insult to intelligent women in this country and insult that everyone that has a brain.

Get ready for WW III if McCain is elected because he is reckless and the world might come to end with his clueless VP.

I am a Dem, and I would normally have gloated over this, but I kinda feel sorry for the woman. It is a little surprising to see this, as most politicians at this level (and she is a Governor) can articulate their talking points pretty well. Even Bush, when prepared does fine!! I believe Kay Bailey Hutchison would have been a formidable woman choice but, hey, she does not shoot moose!!!

My heart goes to Sarah. She is not ready. It's Mccain fault and his political agenda. Why subject her to all this torture. She is a nice hockey mom.

I am a conservative, evangelical Christian who has voted for the GOP all my life. There is now no doubt to any thinking individual that Sarah Palin (who I initially supported) is completely unqualified, and what this reveals about John McCain, especially his stunts this week.

Me and many in my church will be voting for Barack Obama. With our noses held and with grave reservations - but voting for him nonetheless.

You guys are the true patriots. Nation first.
